APPLICATIONS AND SOLUTIONS

Applications and requirements for solar systems are wide and varied. Applications and requirements for solar systems are wide and varied. as specialists in the design of solar systems – we can design a power solution for any requirement:

Security Systems

Holiday Homes

Grid Tied Homes

Game Lodges

Telecomms

Off Grid Homes

CCTV Systems

Solar Homes

Off Grid

An off grid solar system is one that has no access to grid power at all.
It relies on PV solar and batteries to provide for all power requirements.
In some cases it may be combined with a wind generator, a hydroelectric system or other form of alternative energy source.
A diesel generator my also be used for back-up in certain applications.

Any application where there is no grid power available or where and alternative to grid power is preferred.

-Remote farms, Lodges, Schools, Villages
-Anywhere no grid is available
-Mobile applications
-Telemetry
-Solar Home systems
-Applications from a few Watts to many Kilowatts
– Security and CCtv Telecomms

– Totally independent power source
– Provides power independently of the utility grid
– Custom Designed to requirements
– Provides power in areas where there is none
– Properly designed and managed system should last 10 to 15 years
– Can be installed pretty much anywhere
– Can save significantly on initial cost if a long grid extension is needed to get to your property

Grid Tie

A grid Tie solar system is one that converts solar electricity directly to AC power and feeds it to your load in parallel with Grid power
The aim is that you use all of this power directly but excess can be fed back to the grid in some metros.

Any application where a power user is connected a grid or utility

– Large, medium or small businesses which consume power (entirely or partially) during daylight hours
– Households with a relatively large daylight hours consumption pattern

-Cheaper than a conventional off grid system as there is no battery required
-Can result in significant cost savings through reduction in Eskom usage
-Is relatively easy to grow in stages and simple to install
-Ideal for households with grid who want to save on electricity consumption and costs
-Has a relatively short payback period
-Increasing grid electricity costs mean that any system will pay for itself increasingly faster

Battery Back-Up

A Battery back up system is a battery and inverter system designed to supply power to specific circuits in times of power outages
Similar to a UPS but usually with more capacity

Any application where power outages affect business operations, or day to day life

-Large medium or small businesses wanting to maintain operations (partial or total) during power outages
-Households wanting power during power outages

-Have longer run times than most UPS ‘s
-Have longer run times than most UPS ‘s
-Work on lower inout voltages, thereby minimizing DC voltage and minimizing battery space
-Can sometimes be combined with a solar system to create a grid interactive/hybrid system
